Elianor and I spent a gloomy afternoon at the Alhambra in Granada a few weeks back. The 700 or so year old palace was designed to make use of natural light, and so I think we saw it in a particularly matte state, but I loved it. The colours varied in tone from tile to tile, each shade perfect in its own form. The mathematical symmetry dreamed up and executed by the imperfect minds and hands of humans made me feel something good.
